This week’s Global Design Project is a theme: “pattern.” See how our designers used the theme, then create your design, and hang it in our gallery.

I found a houndstooth pattern in the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks Set that would be perfect for a masculine birthday card. Using a Blending Brush, and holding the mask in place, I applied Crumb Cake Ink to Basic White Cardstock (3″ X 4 1/4″), beneath the mask. Then, I layered it on Crumb Cake Cardstock, 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″.

Houndstooth and “Hound Dog”

The layer beneath the pattern is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″. Prior to gluing, I gave the white layer texture with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder.

Someone else thought the pattern was perfect also, namely “Hound Dog,” nicknamed by his friends from the Zoo Crew Designer Paper. 

He said he’s been waiting for me to make a card with a houndstooth pattern, and was hoping to be the focal point.

After snipping him from the DSP, I placed him on Dimensionals. His white layer is 1 3/8″ X 2 5/8″, backed with Crumb Cake, 1 1/2″ X 2 3/4″.

“Hound Dog” chose the sentiment, YAY YOU,” because he likes saying this on birthday cards. We found it in the Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set, and I stamped it in Crumb Cake Ink. He is very happy, and can’t wait to show his Zoo Crew friends his birthday card.
